Schwules Museum* : Insights into life worlds

Schwules Museum*, Lützowstraße 73, 10785 Berlin, Mitte

Tickets 2for1

Interesting insights into the lives of homosexuals can be found in this museum!

The Gay Museum has been dedicated to queer art and history since its foundation in 1985 and has developed into the present and future laboratory of the international LGBTIQ community. Here sexual and gender positions such as trans, lesbian, gay or non-binary are negotiated and taken up in connection with other social issues. In short: It is about a queer perspective on the world. To this end, up to four exhibitions are held simultaneously in the museum, and there is also a varied - currently digital - programme of events. The library and the archive form one of the largest LGBTQ collections in the world and have made the Gay Museum an institution with international reputation also for science.

100 objects - An Archive of Feelings
(until 26 October 2020)

The Wunderkammer exploded! The Gay Museum directs the spotlight on its own collection. Modelled on the exhibition "World History in 100 Objects" at the British Museum, the richness, diversity and fascination of the archive will be made tangible in 100 selected objects - representing 1.5 million items in the collection. Arranged according to the feelings of joy, care, desire, anger and fear, the Museum Strong presents an uncompromisingly queer collection of photographs to travesty costumes, documents to paintings, books from 1629 to contemporary installations. <"Strong"?

Love at First Fight! Queer movements in Germany since Stonewall
(until 19 October 2020)

The exhibition Love at First Fight! in the Gay Museum opens new ways and perspectives: on (more than) 50 years of queer resistance in the FRG, the GDR and finally in the reunited Germany: posters from other times, flyers, printed protest appeals, underground fanzines, pamphlets - the exhibition also looks everywhere where it has jerked in the movement: from the early leather gay meeting places in Kreuzberg to the feminist scene of the GDR, the founding of the Black Women's Network in Germany and today's protest actions of the trans* movement.
